Never been as blown away by a new track as when this was released. It still sounds like it's from the future.

[@jaysonh3730]

The craziest thing about this song is that it jumped ahead of celine dion to become the number one selling single for 6 weeks on the Australian charts! Lol there must have been some good drugs going around then

[@alicanyilmaxinittt6269]

Jayson Haebich the pills were much stronger

[@demidron.]

To be fair, Celine Dion is kinda shit though. I mean, I'm sure she's a nice person, but ...

They were designer drugs back then, made by brilliant chemists. Now days they're cooked up in toilets by any dumb cunt.

[@pictonoldskool]

I watched this on acid when I was 22 that was 23 years ago still gives me flashbacks

[@glennphillips843]

Yeah was a massive hit

[@gnargnar1898]

I remember this video as a 3 year old on RAGE in Australia, legit was mind blowing graphics back then and made me delve into the world of computers and video games. Thanks Hocus Pocus!

[@gnargnar1898]

also, drugs and raving became a thing too. But mostly Video games.

[@grubbybum3614]

I remember some family friends were over, super religious, and their mum was freaking out that the graphics on this song contained subliminal messages.

That's quite funny, because they played this one every time they had the speed skating session at the local ice skating rink here in Christchurch, New Zealand back in the '90s.

[@steviewondek]

Yet still sounds like the future compared to the mainstream pop charts.

[@teddym2808]

@@steviewondek Actually, unlike a lot of 90's music, I don't think this has aged well *at all*. It's literally just a monotone stab in the same pattern over and over again. It's kind of terrible LOL. Stuff like Leftfield, Afro left - now THAT has ages well. Timeless really. Just my opinion so don't shoot me!

The tumbling video image (at 4:00) was caused by an error in the super-VHS editing box that just froze and then cascaded the image. I thought it was cool!

Still have some old mix tapes like nik fish's 'rewind' 94.
